It looks like part way through the script it eventually tries to run
systemctl to start the service.
weewx was installed with:
sudo apt-get install weewx
The installation script _does_ run weewxd, but of course the distribution
config file (/etc/weewx/weewx.conf) isn't right for my hardware. It's at
this point I try to exercise the stop & start methods after editing
weewx.conf.
systemctl status gives this. The errors listed at the end seem to be left
over from trying to copy the 3.1 weewx.conf lat/lon syntax into the current
file (current config file seems to use separate lat & lon lines instead).

Trying to start it with systemctl gives no messages (also tried w/o
--no-pager option):
sudo systemctl --no-pager start weewx.service
Nothing in /var/log/syslog, either.
